Registry entry for changing scroll bar size.

Can someone point me to the info regarding the registry entry for making the scroll bars thinner. I have looked every where and searched for scroll bars.. cant find it.

got it.
had to sneak over to the q forum.
here it is.
1. Making the scrollbars smaller (Vert. and Horz.)
This hack allows 4 icons on a row in the start menu instead of 3 and allows more to be viewed on the screen in IE:
• Go to: HKey_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\GWE\
• Adjust the following values
cyHScr : Horizontal Scrollbars
Height in pixels (default is 6, set it to 3)
cxVScr : Vertical Scrollbars
Width in pixels (default is 6, set it to 3)
• Soft-reset
Its mostly nicer for web browsing.
also this asks for you to create them, they are allready created.

Bump for a good change that I felt was missing from the new roms. Thought others would appreciate it.

v2.7 and 2.9 Functions
BEFORE USING v2.8, PLS SET ENSURE THE REGISTRY HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila\EnableLandscape = true
v2.7 - only for manila 1921xxx
v2.9 - only for manila 19222xxx (Landscape version)
There is a minor change to the previous versions (v2.6 and below). You can now access the Setting screen by swiping top to bottom. Horizontal swiping is removed and goes back to default where you can access other tabs with the exception when you select Panoramic wallpaper which will pan the wallpaper left/right instead.
Firstly, let me point out the functions of the corners of the screen for different modes.
Max Manila Setting Screen can be accessed by swiping from top to bottom
Menu/Skin Customization (v2.9) - this is the additional selection option appearing on the MENU (accessed from homepage right softkey). What it does is to allow you to skin your notification icons by selecting jpg/png files from your album. Here's how it works.
v2.9 cab will come wt a folder called "MyFolder" in \windows. There are 8 icons 64x64 png files in there which basically is the previous and current version icons.
You can move this folder later to storage card and rename the registry path \HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila\Max_Folder. You can leave this blank and the album will open to the default path. I find this much more user friendly especially when you have tons of folders to search.
You can create your own icon in any square size; for eg, 128x128; 100x100 whatever. It should re-size back to 64x64. File can be jpg or png if you want to have transparency. Later, just dump it into the folder on #2.
Normal (Full) mode - this is your default screen with taskbar at the top and softkeys at the bottom.
Top Left - Navigates to People screen
Top Center - **REMOVED on v2.82** (previous version Cycles Clock Array)
Top Right - Show Battery Info (v2.82 - you can now edit the registry to link to your app.
\HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila\Max_SKTPath = your app path
\HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila\Max_SKTArg = your app argument
Bottom Left - Navigates to Home screen
Bottom Right - Navigates to manila Settings tab ( not Max Manila settings )
FullScreen mode - this can be enabled through your Settings screen. Your taskbar and softkeys will disappear and a fullscreen is displayed. The first time after you activated the screen. Press the HOME button to ensure that the screen fully covers up the task and softkey bars.
Top Left - activates StartMenu
Top Center - **REMOVED on v2.82** (previous version Cycles Clock Array)
Top Right - on v2.82 display taskbar information ( previously display battery info )
: Battery - Press to open up battery info
: Sound Profile - Press to navigate to sound profile setting
: Data connection/signal - Press to go to communication manager
Bottom Right - Lock screen (v2.8 onwards). This can now be changed to link to your app. Tweak the registry below.
\HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila\Max_SKPath = your app path
\HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila\Max_SKArg = your app argument
Bottom Left - Activates the softkeys panel ( when activated, your softkeys will appear for 2secs before it closes itself ) (v2.8 onwards)
Lite mode - removed on v2.81. You can anyway set your manila back to default by using the settings from the setting page below.
Here are the new screen for the Settings page. Most functions retain for now (I'll add more to it later) but I have shifted it around a bit. Arrows basically scroll more settings.
SETTINGS
Wallpaper - there are 3 types of wallpaper here.
a. BG4all - this is the wallpaper which will automatically load up when you select through MENU/Home Wallpaper/Weather Wallpaper. Wallpaper will show on all tabs and is fullscreen on v2.8 onwards. If you leave it, it will not display anything. Setting is "B".
On v2.9, there will be 2 seperate wallpapers. Portrait wallpaper and Landscape Wallpaper which you can select from MENU/Home Wallpaper. This will be HQ wallpaper. So, make sure you pre-format your wallpaper to 480x800 or it will not come out correct.
Portrait Wallpaper - selects your portrait wallpaper.
Landscape Wallpaper - selects your landscape wallpaper. The wallpaper will be rotated 90deg. So, make sure that you rotate your landscape wallpaper -90deg before loading.
Animated Wallpaper - this has now been tweaked to activate the animated components on your Portrait wallpaper. It has been disabled for landscape.
Remove Wallpaper - removes both portrait and landscape wallpapers.
b. Full - the file is a 1024x768 size jpg called "MaxBackground.jpg". This wallpaper will fill up fullscreen and all tabs. It is used in 3 different functions.
"P" - stands for panoramic. When this is activated, you can swipe left/right to pan the wallpaper.
"F" - stands for full. It will remain still at where you have previously panned.
"H" - stands for home only. This wallpaper will only show in home and the other tabs will have the default wallpaper (read below)
c. Default - this is the manila wallpaper that requires app like HDWall to create. Rather than using the latest file of 512x1024, I have reworked a fullscreen default wallpaper using the old filenames. If you are using HDWall, go to config and select profile "TouchFLO v2.5 BETA - No Compression - All Tabs".
4bfcbbee_manila
54612042_manila
In landscape mode, this will be replaced wt another wallpaper. The construct of these files are as such
0509ab83_manila : Left
- 512x512 manila qtc
- actual wallpaper dimension 480x480 (from top left)
47fb5656_manila : Right
- 512x512 manila qtc
- actual wallpaper dimension 320x480 (from top left)
Assuming you have a landscape wallpaper of 800x480. Below are some instructions how you can make your own.
- for the RIGHT wallpaper, crop from the right to 512 and expand your bottom to 512
- for the LEFT wallpaper, crop from the left to 480 and expand right to 32 ( your total width should be 512 ). Do the same for the bottom.
*******on v2.9, this has been removed due to it's redundancy*******
Call History (Call H) - toggle the call history on/off. This will now reside on top of the calendar. Voicemail alert has been added for v2.8 onwards.
Calendar - you can now select option 0, 1, 2 or 3. 0 will not show the calendar bar on the screen. Pls make your own adjustment to avoid any overlaps as I have removed this feature due to the inclusion of VGA which complicates the matter.
Slider - for those who does not have this feature build into the ROM, you can toggle the icon off. What this does is that it removes the first layer of the tab icon which makes your transparent slider looks much nicer when sliding through all the tabs. "ON" means slider effect is switched on.
Mute - you can now activate a silent "S" or vibrate "V" mode when you put your phone face down ( that means front screen facing the floor )
AutoLock - when turn on, your phone will goes into LOCK mode when you turn your phone upside down ( that means rotating your front screen 180deg )
Alert - here you can select whether to display the shortcuts or notification icons on screen. Also note that on v2.8, the notification icons will only display in fullscreen landscape mode only with the exception in normal mode, when your tab icon is retracted.
NS - both shortcuts and notification icons will display
S - only shortcuts will display
N - only notification icons will display
OFF - both will not display
Hide Tab (previously called Tab Icons) - in v2.8, this has been renamed to Hide Tab to avoid confusion. This only works in normal screen mode. When "ON", it will activate the retractable tab icons. In fullscreen mode, this will disabled for the sake of accessing softkeys.
Weather - this is where you toggle your weather animation. It is best to toggle it off to gain speed especially when you are loading wallpaper for BG4all.
Shortcuts - you can select 12/16/20 shortcuts for WVGA and 9/12/15 for VGA.
If you have problem accessing your shortcuts, go to the registry HKLM/Software/HTC/Manila/Home and look at the numbered folders. Chk out the "IsSet" and set it back to 0. Remember to do a SOFTRESET afterwards.
In lanscape mode, shortcuts will change to 3 columns for WVGA and 2 columns for VGA. (not tested on VGA device yet bcos 1922xx not ready)
Fullscreen - this will activate the fullscreen mode. Fm v2.8 onwards, the fullscreen softkeys can be accessed by pressing the bottom left while in fullscreen mode. The softkey panel will appear for 2secs.
Titanium - this will deactivate TF3D and goes to WM6.5 Window Default UI. To get back to TF3D, just go to StartMenu/Settings/Home/Items and select HTC Sense.
Goldfish - my own hobby app which will create an animated fish swimming around your screen. To close the app, just double tap the goldfish.
LTab - when "OFF", this will retain the original tab during landscape. Your other settings must be Hide Tab = OFF and Fullscreen = OFF. This is normally to be used when you want to set back to default settings.
Resolution - select "W" for WVGA and "V" for VGA phones.
Clock - this now replace the big analog clock button and incorporate all clocks into one including a full blank screen. As for the big analog clock, you can move the clock around by press+hold and move. This clock also has 3 functions to it.
Left - will toggle the inner face of the clock
Top Right - goes to world clock page
Top Left - cycles the size of the clock
The text on the setting button is labelled as below :
FA - Flip and Analog Clock
SA - Spring and Analog Clock
D - Digital Clock
AA - Dual Analog Clock
MF - Medium size Flip Clock
LF - Large size Flip Clock
S - Large size Sprint Clock
LA - Large size Analog Clock
AC - Huge size Analog Clock
OFF - Blank Screen ( removed Notification and Shortcuts )
********The text "My HTC" on sprint clock can now be edited from the registry************
\HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila\Max_TextName = text displayed on the sprint clock
\HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila\Max_TextSize = font size
Rotation - to use this, pls ensure that you do not have any external program activating the rotation of the manila or you may encounter conflicts. Below are the 3 functions :
OFF - deactivate all rotation but maintain the album/music rotation
R - rotates your screen clockwise when your turn your phone right. In this mode, your album/music turn landscape in the normal direction but can also be rotated when turn the other direction.
L - rotates your screen anti-clockwise when you turn your phone left. In this mode, album/music rotation will be disabled and replaced wt the landscape mode.
B (only on v2.9) - rotates both ways. Album/music rotation will be disabled and replaced wt the landscape mode.
When phone is facing up ( screen on top and flag ), it will not activate any rotation event.
3D - this basically toggles the look of your shortcuts between normal and 3D like when you scroll it up.
TBar - this basically toggles the display of fullscreen taskbar indicators. Can only be activated when not in fullscreen mode.
PAnim - cycles through the type of rotation animation for portrait wallpaper. Here's the description of the text.
OFF - no animation
SD - slide down
SU - slide up
SL - slide left
SR - slide right
RA - rotate anticlockwise
RC - rotate clockwise
O - increasing opacity
FU - flip up
FD - flip down
? - random
LAnim - cycles through the type of rotation animation for landscape wallpaper. Here's the description of the text.
OFF - no animation
SD - slide down
SU - slide up
SL - slide left
SR - slide right
RA - rotate anticlockwise
RC - rotate clockwise
O - increasing opacity
FL - flip left
FR - flip right
? - random
Notif - adjust the notification size, position and effects.
N - normal size (standard position)
NT - normal size; hidden when no alerts (standard position)
S - scaled down (lower position)
ST - scaled down; hidden when no alerts (lower position)

v2.7 WVGA Fullscreen Softkeys
Here's the status of the WVGA Fullscreen Softkeys. It is not finished yet but I thought it will be good that you all can help to beta test it. You practically have now a pretty smooth operation in fullscreen mode as I have tweaked the script to remain in fullscreen mode especially after exiting from album and music.
Home - ok
People - ok
Messages - ok
Mail - ok
Internet - softkeys showing but disabled due to some issues for now
Calendar - intermittent hang problem when switching calendar. To release, press HOME and you can get back to calendar again
Stocks - ok
Album - ok ( when changing to landscape, the screen just momentary disable fullscreen in order to trigger certain events )
Music - ok ( Left bottom button in landscape fixed )
Weather - ok
Twitter - ok
Footprints - ok
Settings - slight modifications. Pressing settings will go straight to the settings page instead of opening up another menu for All Settings and I've added a left softkey to go back to HOME screen
There's a new tab, not sure what it's called "Documents"?? which I will work on when I get a chance to flash the new ROM.
As for the VGA version, this will come shortly as I have to work on the original VGA files instead bcos the WVGA version will mis-align some stuff for VGA.
BTW, it is ok to install/uninstall on top of the the main cab as both of them do not share any files in common.

For Manila 2.1919xxx Users
It is very similar to the original 2.5 theme except that the fullscreen and rotation do not work. In place of the rotation button, you can now toggle your retractable tab icons to stay permanently. Pls also note that the manila components for manila 2.1 is different. The only components which you can download and replace is the panoramic background on post#4.

Looks simply amazing. Waiting anxiously to see this one.

Bugs, Problems and Fixes:
Problems with fullscreen mode using MaxManila 2.7SE:
Download and install the fix files from this post. Thanks to ceesheim.
Problems with 'Portrait Wallpaper', 'Landscape Wallpaper' and 'Remove Wallpaper' options not showing under Home tab menu (instead getting standard 'Weather Wallpaper' option):
::Update:: I haven't been able to gather enough information from people with this bug. Please take a look at my post here and download the Home_Pages.xml file. Copy it to your Windows dir using Total Commander and soft reset. If this works please report it in the thread or pm me. The ManilaFull.xml attached to the post may or may not be compatible with your Sense 2.5 build; try it at your own risk!
MaxManila installs an edited 'Home_Pages.xml' file to enable these options. If your rom is not WWE it will use a different file called 'ManilaFull.xml'. A fix is described here. Thanks to Intruder73. I hope to get a ready made 'ManilaFull.xml' file posted here as a patch some time in the future. In the meantime yome has detailed the edit here.
Rotation/landscape problems:
Different manila builds have different levels of support for landscape. Individual rom cooks also enable or disable registry values and the GSensor as well as installing third party rotation apps. This will all affect the way landscape is supposed to work in MaxManila. Check the following (these are all suggestions that may help; I have found no definitive solutions):
Registry: HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila\EnableLandscape = false (This is the correct setting)
Apps: GSensor '(Diamond 2 GSensor.cab') is installed, no third party apps installed (i.e. ChangeScreen etc.)
GSensor whitelist: Download and install BsB GConfig and make sure 'Manila.exe' is removed from the whitelist
"It won't work on rom xxxx" problems:
Simple answer: Try another rom then. Complicated answer: Does the rom use CFC compression? twopumpchump has made a patched mode9.dll file to get it working Download and instructions here.
Some Quicklinks not working:
Neither Max nor I have been able to replicate this problem so Max can't fix it. A workaround is to go to the MaxManila settings page and cycle the number of shortcuts. When you return to the Home tab the Quicklinks will all work again.

Great Max.
Think it is good with a new tread. The first tread is very big and a little impossible to find the answer becaurse of the constantly new manilla files.
Looking forward to see the new program from you and the components.

You have to use MaxTTM to convert that. I've written a tutorial on this but without the images ( run out of bandwidth )

its only working on cooked roms?
or we can try it on the stock one 6.1?

Hmm.. I'm not into lua scripting.. - but could you maybe tell me the manila file name of the black background layer behind the clock?
At the moment I'm trying to get these things more transparent..

So you have a stock wm6.1 running manila 2.5
This is only for manila 2.5 AFAIK.

Maxycy, this is phenomenal. Thank you so much, at last I've gotten rid of that bug/feature of the clock scrolling 1 hour and 2 minutes every time I change to the Home tab.

0b6f5c5e_manila is the white highlight when you touch the black background, the background itself is 31794a12_manila.

Installed CAB on Miri Rev7 (not 7.1), doesnt work.
Any idea?

question regarding visual basic 2008(need help)

my problem is that i cant get image loaded in picturebox transparent.
i create picturebox, select image(png with transparent background) , in properties of picturebox i set background to transparent but it just shows white background where it shoud be transparent.
here are 2 imgs. first from designer where everything is ok and other from emulator wich showes that white background. please help!!!!

Search in the settings you need to PictureBox in the Program in which you create applications.
There is no such thing as setting the background ... at least in VS

so there is no way to have rounded buttons in vb or there is??

standard controls dont support transparency, so you're left with 2 options:
- set form backcolor = image backcolor
- create your own controls that support transparency. Here's a starting point: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd630622.aspx. I did that in my own app and it is horribly time-consuming, but it works great

Install Guide​Video Guide
More easy way to install the icons is with Device Manager of TouchXperience (video guide above):
1 - download Icons (the ones with - SMI) and ProductId
2 - unzip the icons
3 - Open Windows Phone Device Manager (sync with the device) and open Explore Files and Folders\Applications\Install\
4 - Open the unziped folder and open the folder with the color you want
5 - Select all (or select the ones you want) and drag them to Windows Phone Device Manager - Explore Files and Folders\Applications\Install\
6 - wait till all folders are copied
That's it !!!
For those that can't use the method above, try the old ones below:​First Method to Install (for one icon at a time)
I will make an example for Advanced Explorer with Orange color
1 - download nichitandrei - Simple Icons.zip and Product Id
2 - unzip
3 - open nichitandrei - Simple Icons\Orange code - f09609\Advanced Explorer\
4 - copy .PNGs to Desktop Host\bin\UploadRoot
5 - look in the Product Id.txt and see what code has the app of which icon you replace (for Advanced Explorer - DEA9333A-E91C-44ED-BB1F-2400CD9E824E)
6 - go to the phone and open Advanced Explorer go to remote page and refresh it till you'll see the icons from the UploadRoot
7 - Copy the icon in Applications\Install\DEA9333A-E91C-44ED-BB1F-2400CD9E824E\Install\
And that's it

3 - copy Orange folder (from nichitandrei - Simple Icons - SMI\Orange\) in Desktop Host\bin\UploadRoot\
4 - open nichitandrei - product id.txt and you will see the product id (for Advanced Explorer - DEA9333A-E91C-44ED-BB1F-2400CD9E824E)
5 - if you don't want to change the icon for Advanced Explorer, in Desktop Host\bin\UploadRoot\Orange\ delete the folder named DEA9333A-E91C-44ED-BB1F-2400CD9E824E
6 - after you delete all the folders you don't want, go to the phone and open Advanced Explorer go to remote page and refresh it till you'll see the Orange folder from the UploadRoot
7 - open Orange folder and you'll see the product id folders (like DEA9333A-E91C-44ED-BB1F-2400CD9E824E)
8 - select them and copy them in the Application\Install\ (try to not copy more than 7 at the time. From my experience Advanced Explorer blocks)
9 - wait till all folders are copied
If you need other icons leave a list with the name of the app
Thanks

Feel free to leave a feedback or simply press Thanks button to show your appreciation​
I know, I know I posted this on HD2 Forum, but I was wrong, because this is for all WP7 devices and I know that [ICONS] must be posted on THEME Sub-Forum but on WP7 there is no Theme Sub-Forum​

I don't get it, weren't you bothered that when you have a theme (e.g: blue, orange, red ect) the icons had different colors or you don't like these.
No feeback, no thanks I'm a little dissapointed... At least for the fact that I implemented the ideea of changing the icons
This post is for future updates. If I will need

Ok, I figured out a method for your problem:
Download "Icons by nichitandrei.xap" and open it with Winrar and copy the folders with the icons you want to install then save and close.
Install "Icons by nichitandrei.xap" like any other app.
In your phone, after you install "Icons by nichitandrei.xap" it will open a blank page from which you can not go back, so just press the windows button (to go to homescreen).
Open a file explorer that works for you and go in applications/install/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000/ and here you have all the folders with the icons you wanted.
From here you can copy/paste like in the methods to install from above.

V2
Check out in the first post!! Today I added v2 (if you want all icons, you must download both v1 + v2)
Don't forget to leave a feedback , and of course I will still make other icons if you want, just leave a list

Finally someone has taken the initiative, well done fantastic work!
P.S. Can you please add Navigon icon on your next release, Thanks!

To be honest, most of us are doing everything we can to get some colour into our phones and get rid of the drab WP standard, this mod is the total opposite to what a lot of people want!
My phone has every mod I could lay my hands on to make the home screen and program list look as interesting as possible instead of the plain and boring one colour theme Microsoft try to make us have.
If you could modify this to make the phone more colourful instead of less then a lot more people would want it.

I posted this in 2011, but I'm still on Windows Phone, for sure it's my last Windows Phone till they will work harder for this OS and they will bring more apps (I'm referring to the popular apps and games)
And to answer to your comment, I'm telling you just that...this OS it was called METRO and it was looking more 'metro' when it was in one color and that's why I open this thread, but now, a lot of apps will make there icon transparent to look the best with the new background of the start screen.
Have fun with this OS!!!

im pretty sure this will be my first and last handset with windows phone too, After this im off to android!
I came to windows phone after years and years with windows mobile and this terrible looking and basic o.s was a real shock and major disappointment.
Metro in my opinion was a real mistake and has made this o.s look dull and boring.
Then there's the basic o.s, I can't believe how stripped out this is, every single decent feature or setting has gone, Windows mobile was 1000x better than windows phone, Microsoft have lost there way and its a shame.
I understand what you tried to do and you did what you wanted very well, I was just saying that it might have been better making this project but with the opposite and added colour and fancy icons, maybe you could have done both.
I am in no way trying to tear apart your work and any work on this o.s is appreciated, just giving feedback to the obvious dissapointment that you showed when there was little attention from people when you released the mod.
If my comments upset you i apologize, it was not my intention.

Your comment didn't upset me at all.
I believe that Android is way more boring than Windows Phone 8.1 but it has many popular apps and it has the galaxy note line that has the nice pen and this makes me go for it.

An app idea...about accent colors (utopic right now...) :(

I was thinking that at the time where developers will have access to Mango accent colours, it could be a lovely idea to make an app like this:
http://colorschemedesigner.com/
Imagine a "light version" of this app for WP7 with:
1. The same access to color data (viewing of hex/rgb values)
2. A big "randomizer button" to randomly produce combinations (like the one inside the online app menu...)
3. Presets with load save
4. ..an "apply as theme colors" function (the app would map the generated colors to each of the available parts (registry keys) of the OS.
..someone could tap the randomizer button if he doesn't know about color combinations, until he finds one he likes. Then, he could manually or automatically (randomly) map colors to the appropriate areas of the OS. (I think this is about 3-4 color mappings), save the combination into a preset and apply it by adding it as an accent color in phone's theme menu.
I could definitely buy such an app, even if it was an expensive one.

i think what you are looking for is called Advanced Config

Advanced Config:
1. Doesn't work properly (It closes right after I open it in Mango and I also get an error message at the start. I had it before some months and it worked...I don't know what happened)
2. It doesn't have a color scheme generator (we can just choose one color for the tiles and active fonts and that's all). So we can't change background / tile / tile font colors according to an already tested combination of colors.
3. It doesn't have a randomizer (which, if all the above existed, could modify all of the OS colors with a minimum amount of aesthetic errors. Not all combinations are suitable for every use, but at least many of them could be quickly accessible with just the press of a button and they could be even modified if the user wanted.
...for those who say that WP7 has already great colors and doesn't need apps/functionality like this I can say that the system doesn't get bloated with an advanced color customizer. It gets bloated when someone tries to radically change the style of the UI, like making the 2d icons look like "iphone 3d icons" etc...that could be bad...but having the ability to properly change tile/background/font colors, is like MS making us part of their design team.
